hello and a very warm welcome to r.t. twenty five live from moscow thanks for joining us the rain has again moved to crush dissent after activists said police arrested twenty five protests at monday's anti regime rally in and around the capital authorities use tear gas and rubber bullets on the crowds in minara and detained a well known campaigner from the bahrain center for human rights the street marchers were calling for more freedoms from their sunni rulers and the release of all political prisoners including leading right out of atlanta bill read john his sentence was reduced last week at court at an appeal for his release how was rejected around eighty people have been killed by security forces in nearly two years of continual quote reform due inspirations bahrain is under pressure from rights groups for not following up to modernize its political institutions and

political scientists call in the main reason the gulf monarchies still in power is due to vital backing from abroad like trying to drive. the opposition to the international community have left the broadcast. and. just used. the population. and the. relation to leave. the country know what they're trying to do thirty years. why is. it when the by all asians of human rights was so gross i just mean and generally quiet. and of course you and everyone else with almost the reason and that's because of the bully. in bahrain in bahrain the us uses that as

a pivot point tried to intervene and control. the idea. is. junk in the modern world and the only ones who don't get it are the. israel says it will go ahead with plans to build fifteen hundred new settler homes in east jerusalem the part of the city that's considered palestinian land the project was given an immediate end to meet a green light by israeli officials on monday this comes less than a month after the u.n. granted palestine nonmember observer status but if the news i want to ease jerusalem to be the capital of a future palestinian state and promising to raise the issue at a security council meeting or thought on his torah and child one says that with palestine is recent upgrade israel is playing a risky game israel is making a very dangerous wager that its chief ally and washington can be protected from the
2:04 am
reach of international law but i think that's a misjudgment on israel's part the enhanced status of the palestinian authority raises the possibility that the israeli beater ship can be dragged before the international criminal court in the hague for various transgressions not only that but the neighborhood of israel is changing with the rise of the solid on the rise of the islamicist so i think israel is playing a very dangerous game in the short term and in the long term the problem is that mr netanyahu does not want to so the moment of this question he feels that his regime can continue in a grab the palestinian land and settling palestinian land which jewish settlers ad infinitum into the future however it's well known that israel's main protector in washington is declining in international significance because really authorities

would be wise to change their ill advised policy before it's too late. and as israel feels increasingly isolated at the u.n. over its expansion policy the arab spring means it's increasingly isolated in its own neighborhood as well the turmoil has seen it become the target of more attacks militant rockets and even stray shells from across the border with syria has pulled us clear report. there's a storm brewing in the middle east and it's leaving a chill in the hearts of most israelis say what you might about the arab spring it poses an obvious problem for tel aviv zaman and so we've seen just a few weeks ago. plenty of missiles falling on israel form a radical. i dream and we see. already the beginning of maybe a attrition war in the golan heights we see plenty of the angels in the mediterranean sea israel's backyard has become
2:06 am
a lot more dangerous in the last two years weapons from libya are leaking across borders and landing in the hands of unknown militant groups the trouble ahead is symbolized by the muslim brotherhood sweep to power in egypt from this rally in june and ominous promise by the movement to make sure and not kind of the capital at a minimum what we'll see is the free flow of weapons money and supplies from egypt into the gaza strip we will see egyptian volunteers going into the gaza strip to fight that's the minimum moving up from there the possibility of egypt israel war is by no means impossible but it was democracy that both the muslim brotherhood to power and our deal both israel and the west came to espouse but both are now waking up to the reality that things might in fact have been better under the previous dictatorships at least for them we had a difficult situation but at least we had the contact you know with the leadership
2:07 am
secondly person who was committed to the peace process. the situation today is that we are confronting a new president who belongs to a certain institution a certain movement which do not believe in the right of israel for existence. israeli leaders know all too well that whatever friendships however useful they have with arab leaders it doesn't alter the basic freight posed by an arab awakening that in most countries is empowering militant islamic groups we will expect that these governments will one day we will both pressure not only on the friends of we feel also this. the new changes in the border democracies that is emerging in the world will have a tremendous challenges. in order to. law and order to establish
2:08 am
a real democracy the need some time but television fears that in the time it takes for that democracy to really take root and for the arab public perhaps one day to accept a jewish state relations with its arab neighbors will get far worse before they get better the challenge now for israeli leadership is twofold to avoid inflaming arab public opinion while protecting israel and also to counter the growing to speak many israelis feel of the growing isolation in an increasingly volatile neighborhood r t tel of of. thousands of demonstrators in madrid against austerity policies with much of the anti-government anger based on a broken promise to raise pensioners in line with inflation pensioners and elderly made up a large section of the crowd in a rally organized by spanish labor unions the protest comes a day after medical workers march through the capital enraged by the government's plans to prioritize health care strains current debt stands at at least eight
2:09 am
hundred billion euros however madrid has gone out of its way to avoid requesting a sovereign bailout economist again this is a route sounds the mistakes made by the country's government could ultimately cost it a part of its territory. this is a government like the one we. like. the one i learned which is put all its eggs in the basket of consolidating its agreement with germany and the european something but it will take a lot more than one of them and it will take risk of losing an election to change the course of the spanish government very much a very or or let me. it would take the possibility of losing a lot meaner if. forces along to start thinking that perhaps the better off outside funds. just ahead for you here on r.t.
2:10 am
does setting time mean you'll repeat the crime later on this hour focus on the failings in british jails examining why so many people are thrown back in prison almost as soon as they've been let out. if you're passing through rushes to be a regent you really can walk on the wild side thousands of kilometers of unspoilt countryside make up an area where it's still possible to live off the land such spectacular scenery makes it a paradise for fisherman and provides a business opportunity for hunters there are defined hunting seasons in russia but lax enforcement means many animals are killed out of the a lot of times which can leave young animals orphaned and unable to survive the heart of just us forest provides a sanctuary for the most famous beast in russia it's home to a group who rescue often bear cubs and raise them when they're old enough to fend
2:11 am
for themselves the cubs a target taken to a remote location and released back into the wild but it's not just bears who find a haven here this is wolf island here wolf pups have been captured by hunters or bought from zoos have a second chance at life and conservationists have a unique opportunity to observe them. these walls are all around four months old and they'll stay in this area for up to three years and most will go back to the wild for good just viewing them from the car was an experience in itself but then after a bit of a bumpy ride came an opportunity i just couldn't pass up and this is what i was hoping for when i heard i was coming to a place called wolf island a chance to get up close and personal with the locals and it's these guys going to act as pasta parents for the next generation of wolves who come here using the old awards as surrogate parents has already proved a successful technique. every year i place infant wolves with one year old wolf
2:12 am

2:14 am
really is no way to describe no words to find to describe the heartbreak really the grief the sadness the tears. we saw on the ground this town is really at the epitome of grief during this holiday season in this country more or less half of the population supports gun control and the country is split and half believes that it's a civil right and it's a right that americans are entitled to so whether or not any legislation good strong legislation can be passed to prevent these kinds of things is a question we're going to have to wait and see exactly what kind of steps lawmakers take and what the u.s. president takes but certainly i'm sure people are going to be demanding this kind of something to happen so that these situations are so they don't happen in the future over and over and over again parents holding their kids a little tighter and a little longer these days oh gosh i'm so glad that i have so many opportunities to
2:15 am
. i love you i'm so glad you're mine i'm so glad you're in our family i'm so glad. you're here i'm still so glad that i'm having breakfast with you this morning candles. flowers toys and grief filled newtown i keep hearing on the news over and over about the parents when they. were able to get their kids and had to be told. their kids from school. and i can't imagine. if i was in their shoes as a parent that my daughter wouldn't pick up home with me twenty first graders none of them older than seven were killed in a mass shooting at school twenty year old adam lanza lived with his mother nancy in a well off residential neighborhood on friday morning he shot and killed her with her own gun got into a car drove about ten minutes to sandy hook elementary quoting two witnesses he

2:17 am
people's emotions are stretched to the limit make it in here like make it worth something we could mean something good you can't you could create change change that heartbroken locals are now demanding. strict severe gun control that's really all it can be a second amendment to bear arms but. it was written three hundred years ago two hundred fifty years ago the forefathers never thought that it come to this while politicians don't have the power to bring back the twenty little children who used to play on these streets they do have the power to decide what happens next in a country where two hundred seventy million firearms almost one per person are in private possession. newtown connecticut. all over the websites and enormous cane eruption in russia which has become a magnet for schools of thrill seeking tourists is not has
2:18 am
a feeling of fear it's an omen heralding the apocalypse. not a security expert. revealed the nation's computers died from a brand new data hungry virus all these stories online it. has been reporters a garia has invited to the u.s. to send troops to its territory daily newspaper says washington has already found around sixty million dollars into building a training range in the country's east the government in sofia says this will help boost a regional security under a system of the training of its soldiers activists to brian says the u.s. is seeking to expand its influence in eastern europe. we've seen that there is a strong motive force to maintain the cold war even without the soviet union and to incorporate the countries of eastern and central europe the former warsaw pact
2:19 am
countries into an american sphere of influence through the medium of nato and so i think what the what the troop deployment the creation of more bases there already for. the incorporation of this as part of the nato strategy is one a threat to russia a threat to the national sovereignty of the people of bug area because they have foreign military bases and it incorporates belgariad makes it more secure as part of an american political and economic as well as military formation nato in the creation in development of u.s. military bases which are always done under the pretext of security whether it be american security or regional security or global security what that really is is a method by which that country and its economy and its political leaders become securely fastened to to washington both in terms of the incorporation of u.s. military equipment selling u.s. military goods abroad which is
2:20 am
a big business here but more than anything having undue influence in the host country you really can't be a free country and a free people and have foreign troops on your on your soil the reputation of britain's prison system courts showing jails have become every valving do for we have sent is the government has promised to turn the trend around by improving its systems on work and training in areas of confinement but as reports it seems that is being said. person locks up more people than anywhere else in europe yet where we do we get a glimpse of what life on the inside is really like and i would describe it as a sea of boredom. peppered with small orleans of extreme violence and disruption stretched to breaking point you case prison systems are once again in the spotlight following a series of critical reports by the country's prisons inspectorate this government
2:21 am
promised the rehabilitation revolution the trouble is the revolution things taking its time to get. i don't see any rehabilitation revolution i mean the last government passed hundreds of new laws which were sweeping people back into the prison system and this government is going down the same line you know working people up that's the it's getting people out the difficulty getting them out so much that they they don't come back but despite all the rhetoric say far the government's promise is improved regimes on work and training in prisons have failed to materialize well as a bit of a cliché but prisons of education colleges of course you can go to prison as i did know not only have to hope one of my part become a vast amounts of knowledge that's what prisoners do criminals and it's not only mixing with other criminals that's a problem it's becoming
2:22 am
a secret that the u.k.'s prisons are all washed with drugs. oh i would estimate is probably there when cheaper than these be available in lemons this country the resilience or it's a troubling accusation given that today the inmate population stands at more than eighty thousand people right now in a person's relief from prison they've given forty six pounds the very innocent of the supports released back into the same communities have all the same problems as before so it should be no surprise that all too often it's not long before those people and up back inside all right had to apologize for some technical problems right now we do promise to fix them as soon as possible but right now the kaiser report is up next whatever
2:23 am
showed great disdain.
2:24 am
liz. let's cut.
2:25 am
her. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harkin welcome to the big picture. creative. and full and public speaking. to. a few european bodybuilders against millions of weak immigrants. may not seem so serious and. this could be
2:26 am
a real fright. to. european extremists. welcome to the kaiser report imax kaiser you know stephen hawking once said we are just an advanced grade of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star but we can understand the universe that makes us something very special obviously never medicine banker. herbert exactly if you're supposed to understand the universe in which you inhabit stablish
2:27 am
in yourself is above monkeys clearly the central bankers do not know. what they're doing and i have a little video here max is called monkeys perform cannonball jumps into a pool this is what i think the central bankers look like is they're jumping into the dark pools in the shadow banking system and don't know what the heck they're doing but the sure having fun they're having fun i mean i'm still gobsmacked that h.s.b.c. admitted to being a financial terrorist this past week something we've talked about for a while they finally came out and said yeah we laundered money for terrorism and drug monitoring jugged drug laundering cartels in mexico and i think it's some of the moment that they copped to being terrorism so let's look at some sane voices looking at these western central banks. running a deranged policy monkeys that don't understand the universe in which we inhabit
2:28 am
the central bank backlash first hong kong now australia gets ugly case of two thousand us so first the hong kong monetary authority recently said that it was over borrowing and over leveraging and essentially fraudulent lending that caused the financial collapse so all of the quantitative easing is going to do nothing and now glenn stevens the head of the central bank of australia has spoken in the past week and he says that the balance sheets of central banks have reached wartime levels and he shows these charts and you can see it's quite dramatic but he says in terms of the policy response there is a discomfort in some quarters that central banks appear to be exercising an unprecedented degree of discretion introducing new policies yielding uncertain benefits and possible costs well what they're talking about i think alluding to here is that the central banks have been expanding their balance sheets to hide the
2:29 am
deal leveraging that to happen as a result of the criminality of the big banks who committed terrorism and just b.c. has said yes we are a terrorism. a terrorist organization and the central banks to cover up their terrorist activities have to engage in policies that now are running out of their effectiveness now. did there need to be admission that there will be no growth unless financial terrorists are somehow. this is somehow addressed i don't i don't i just don't understand why this is such a big issue in this country that the country is being held at gunpoint by a just b. c. the big four banks but yet if they want to say that nine eleven was an act of terrorism they have to admit that they themselves are terrorists or admit that nine eleven was a nonevent was.
